The star returned to the show a year after she joined Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on the sofa when she was suffering from a mystery illness that made her lose three stone in weight leading many to think she had an eating disorder.

As the iconic tennis tournament continues, the 32 year old spoke to the hosts about her health and how she thought she was going to die when she competed in the competition.

"I was on the brink of dying at Wimbledon. The doctor in Paris was shocked that I was still alive. I knew it was bad but I didn’t know it was that bad," she told a shocked Holly and Phil.

Admitting that she had accepted the possibility of dying, Marion candidly stated: "I obviously don’t want to die but if it is at Wimbledon, then I'm ok with it."

"My teeth were at the brink of falling out," the sports star added when Phil asked her if her body was "in total breakdown."

During the interview, Marion recalled how she began to recover from the shocking illness which was re-diagnosed when she spent four weeks in hospital after Wimbledon.
